What is 75 percent of 83160 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 83160 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 83160 is 100%, so we can write it down as 83160=100%.
4. We know, that x is 75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 83160=100%
2) x=75%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
83160/x=100%/75%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 75% of 83160

83160/x=100/75
(83160/x)*x=(100/75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
83160=1.3333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3333333333333) to get x
83160/1.3333333333333=x
62370=x
x=62370

now we have:
75% of 83160=62370
